It’s a program that starts with a conversation, and grows into something unforgettable.
This is the most flexible and customizable of our programs – designed in direct collaboration with universities, academic departments, organizations or professional groups seeking a high-quality, tailor-made international experience in Spain. Whether focused on a specific field (healthcare, education, art, business, etc.) or centered on language and culture, Special Design adapts the content, format, and schedule to each group’s goals and needs.
Programs can last from one to six weeks and include academic modules, guest lectures, site visits, language courses, internships, and cultural activities. Every detail – from the curriculum to logistics – is coordinated by GRIIS’s experienced team to ensure a smooth, enriching experience for all participants.
